FINANCING CHUCK

Nebraska’s anti-war Republican Sen.
Chuck Hagel
on
Sunday indicated that he is willing to join New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg
in a third-party run for the
White House in 2008. Hagel insiders say that Hagel would run on the
bottom of the ticket, which would largely be financed by the man on
the top of the ticket, Bloomberg.

Bloomberg, according to New York insiders, has been meeting with both Republican and Democrat political consultants, pollsters and media advisers. They informed him that a run would most likely require $100 million. “And probably a bit more,” says one with knowledge of the discussion. “Bloomberg didn’t even blink when he heard the number. He’s ready to cut the check.”
A Bloomberg-Hagel ticket would if nothing else rank in entertainment value with the campaign of Democrat Rep. Dennis Kucinich. It would also create a host of problems for Sen. Hillary Clinton and former Sen.John Edwards, who have steadily been turning their campaigns in an anti-war direction.

Considering that the regular news stations lean far left and call it news, the fairness doctrine will again shut down any opposition to the liberal agenda. 1984 will be alive and well in America.

The liberals have NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN. We got Fox News and the radio. If I am not mistaken, more people watch tv then listen to the radio so who has the real advantage here?
